What Are the 3 "Big, Big, Big" Apple Manufacturing Plants That Trump's Talking About?

Following an interview with The New York Times last week, President Donald Trump granted another interview to The Wall Street Journal that was published earlier today. In it, our Tweeter in Chief made a bold assertion: Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has committed to building three manufacturing plants in the U.S.

"I spoke to [Tim Cook], he's promised me three big plants -- big, big, big," Mr. Trump told WSJ while discussing business tax reform and business investment. "I said, you know, Tim, unless you start building your plants in this country, I won't consider my administration an economic success. He called me, and he said they are going forward."

It's not clear which plants Trump or Cook are referring to, but it's very likely that the truth is lost in translation for the time being. Trump has a long history of exaggerating and lying, and Apple declined to clarify Trump's comments to numerous media outlets.
